Free your thoughts and you will free your mind.

I can be paid for the use of this mind of mine, paid to produce a product which will require the use of this brain's time. I can be tempted and swayed to play into someone else's ploy's and plot's, but once revealed it is my conscience choice to continue or stop.
The devil is in the details, he thrives in the fine print and hidden lines & bits of code. Little does one know when he comes and where he goes. This I do know, but the knowledge of this ill truth does not slow me. I will not let it show when I see him hiding in the shadows, trying to control me slowly, methodically. There are some truths to this life I live that exist, and knowing and identifying them is my own best assistance.

I know this, my mind is of my control. No one controls this soul in me but my own passions and drive for what I love and long for, control over my lusts is what keeps me in balance. The talents I contain are for use by my own discretion. I have been blessed with them because only I control when and when not to call upon them, and when to relinquish them upon others. I have discovered these truths and discovered many uses for my talents which are productive for me and others around me mutually.

One truth I know is that others will always be around to try and show you what you ought to be doing with these unique talents blessed upon you. They will try and trick you, they will try and persuade you to do their deeds which needs something which they can not conceive without outside assistance or talents which they do not possess internally. If they see these talents within you, you will simply become a tool to them which they will use to complete their own task at hand. Realization of when you are simply a tool to another is something which one must continually strive to discover. For once one is aware of what is there around him or her pulling and pushing for their own plan, one can decide what is best for one self and choose to be used in that manner by someone else or not. One plan or plot by another may or may not be beneficial to the one being tempted and persuaded to play along, but again the devil hides within the details and often can not be discovered, so the game of cat and mouse over the truth is never ending. There is no doubt that often people around us are pretending to be our friends for their own selfish intentions, we have all witnessed this again and again.

Shall we as an individual separate ourselves completely from those around us because we have witnessed this deceptive trickery? Isolation is the greatest tool that can be used to diminish our sanity, the very thing which we know we control distinctively. No one can tell me what I have to think, I can play along and show them I am down for their cause visually and externally, but internally I choose to think how I do and come to decisions on my own regardless of how I am forced to act to keep them from labeling me or reacting to the conclusions I have come to inside my own mind. This truth I always keep close to me.

Free your thoughts from getting caught in another mind's thoughtless selfish intentions and you will begin to gain self knowledge and self awareness, I confess this with no ill intrest to sell you something or persuade you to my point of view my friend.
